2.2.1 is being worked on heavily, but it's not at the quality of rom's like Trigger imo.

It's funny that neither xrider or eunki can answer the question. Xrider just seems like a tw fan boy (not to knock tw, I've (mostly) used tw roms on my vibrant), but frost is still not 100%. Frost is faster is not an answer to my question either.

From what I heard from i9000 device forum

It sounds like 2.2.1 is the first rom that Samsung optimized for i9000

It does not lag anymore even with the stock rom
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Holeblocker:
Wow,

Some real A-holes on this forum =)

I think the "issue" is that Google doesn't seem to (afaik) release a full changelog of each Android version.

From around the web:

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2374116,00.asp

So...

2.2.1 is supposedly "faster" and has a "other improvements".

Basically, if you're happy with you current rom, it doesn't matter.

You could always read the Android 2.2.1 user guide

https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.google.com/googlephone/AndroidUsersGuide.pdf&pli=1

and play spot the difference. lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
This is what I needed, the only info I found through searching was that google had no official change log. Active sync I did notice when I flashed the rom. Basically, it's just speed improvements that may or may not be marginal then. Thanks much!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dolphinwigs:
yup

know whats funny? when i flash back to 2.1 before i flash to 2.2 my data download speed literally goes for 20 Kb/s to 150Kb/s wtf? no way ill ever hit a data cap at 20-50 k a sec in downloading.

xriderx66 you are really showing your age with comments like that. Also, no one likes your kanye west impersonation. I WRITE IN ALL CAPS CAUSE MY WORDS ARE LOUD LAWLZ!!! His question was about the difference. His statement was about the menu lag.

Back on track: looking around the net it is hard to find the difference between 2.2 and 2.2.1. What I've found is the same as Hole. Heard someone around these parts say it has gpu acceleration for the browser. But I thought I had read about 2.3 coming with the vp8 engine. Someone correct me if I am wrong with that info.
[General Questions and Answers] sackofnoise:
Hi, i just had a (bad?) idea, since there is a lot of fake micro sd card on ebay and people are being scammed, i were wondering how paypal are handling the fake claims? Do they actually refund you the cards? Or do they need you to send the fake card back? Were just wondering if it would be possible to actually buy a 32gb fake card (which should be around4/8gb?) and actually having a total refund for it since it is not as advertised? (free fake 32gb SD?:D) Yeah, i know it sounds crazy but scamming a scammer is it so bad?

So were just wondering to the ones who actually got scammed and filed a claim... Is it such a pain in the butt or could it actually be done?:confused:

[General Questions and Answers] LeeBear:
The fake micro sd card scam works on ebay because in almost every case it'll cost more for the buyer to send the card back then what they paid for it. Paypal won't refund your money until you have proof the item was received by the seller. This usually means tracking and signature is required when you ship it back. Most of these fake sellers are from china or hong kong which with the tracking/signature requirements ends up costing $20+ which you don't get back when you get you're refund.
[General Questions and Answers] JumboSlim:
I've had experience of fake SD cards bought on ebay.

I was cought myself about 4 years ago, it took ages and eventually I got a full refund and got to keep the card.

Recently a couple of friends had the same problem, this time both got full refunds almost immediately.

I was given the task of trying to reformat to a usable state...

However unlike fake usb memory, which can be reformatted quite easily, with freely available software, SD cards seem to be practically impossible to reformat correctly.

I have on "16 GB" card that I have managed to use as 512MB, but even that causes arror and data loss at random points.
[General Questions and Answers] edie209:
I bought a card that turned out to fake, so I contacted the seller and threatened to report them to ebay and paypal and I got a refund. Kept the card too.
[General Questions and Answers] Westonio245:
don't even bother with ebay to anyone looking at this thread. I just found out that my card is actually a 8gb card said to be 16gb (i believe they can resize it so the phone thinks its 16gb?) and once i passed 8gb nothing saves on my sd card, and I went back to get my refund but the user is no longer a member! lucky for me...

[General Questions and Answers] Goresh:
Paypal Australia requires that the item be returned with an online tracking number. Minimum cost to China, $50.

The system seems to be set up specifically to penalise the victim.

After all, that way Paypal gets to keep their commission.
[General Questions and Answers] upichie:
As much as I dislike PayPal, it's really not set up to hurt the victim. Who would sell using PayPal when, in the event that someone simply "claims" that item is a fake or not as advertised, they get completely screwed over? I definitely would not be setting up an online business when each and every buyer I have can click a few buttons and receive a full refund and the product he purchased, coming straight out of my pocket.

It's not to rip off the buyers, but sometimes it's hard to please everyone.
[General Questions and Answers] patrcost:
Hmm I bought an 16 GB card on eBay but during the uploading of the data on it I noticed the card had already a name and some files on it...So it was not new at all!

A simple mail to the vendor was enough to receive another, new, card and a stamp to send the first card back...

The vendor had a spotless score...

I think you always take a risk while buying on eBay...
[General Questions and Answers] jectos:
I found a great deal on a 64gb micro SDXD card on ebay for $13. The card works fine but is really only 32gb. Although disappointed, I didn't bother sending it back because $13 is still a lot cheaper than I can buy a 32gb micro SD card locally. However, after reading a number of posts it appears that the modify these to read like they are full capacity but begin overwriting data once they reach their real capacity. I see many for sale in the same white and blue packaging and won't buy one again. What amazes me is the high seller ratings these guys seem to have on Ebay.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratmn5105571:
I just recently got into modding my N1 a few weeks ago and finally hit my first snag:

Original root was through superoneclick, so bootloader is still locked. I flashed over to stock GRI40 OTA without realizing (stupidly) that flashing

it would also flash over my RA recovery and unroot my phone. Now, superoneclick is incompatible with GRI40, so I can't re-root through that, and I'm having trouble

with unlocking the bootloader through fastboot.

I get no response from ADB or fastboot in windows cmd prompt when I boot phone to FASTBOOT.

the command "fastboot devices" gives me a repeat of the same prompt with no error. (I can't get fastboot to work in normal debugging mode either, and I don't know if it usually will, because this is the first time I've used it.)

the command "adb devices" gives me response-- "list of devices attached" with nothing below (ADB works fine in debugging mode though).

I thought it might be a driver problem, but "Android bootloader Interface" driver is on the device manager list while phone is in fastboot, and seems to be properly

installed; I can't seem to find another suitable driver to update it to anyways.

Beyond that, there don't seem to be any other drivers running in the device manager either.

It's to the point where I'm considering taking the long way around and re-rooting through passimg, but that may not work anyways from what I've been reading, and that still won't fix my fastboot issue.

Any ideas on why I can't get fastboot to work?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreyas1122:
my devise manager lists it as 'Android 1.0' when connected with fast boot..

if the drivers were installed on their own, then uninstal them.. and manually update the drivers (download them yourself)

that might help.. idk..

Sent from my nexus one
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratmn5105571:
I think that may be part of the problem because I'm not seeing Android 1.0 on the device manager list. I do have an unknown device on there, but I can't update the driver with any of the Google USB drivers. Also, I'm pretty sure it's not my N1 because I'll unplug the N1, delete the unknown device, and scan for hardware changes and it will pop up again, so I don't think it has anything to do with my phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
Put your phone in to fast boot, plug the phone in to a different port on your computer. If you have been plugging it in to the front, plug it in to the back. If you have been plugging it in to the back, plug it in to the front.

This should force windows to re-detect your device and it will hopefully install the missing drivers you're needing...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratmn5105571:
That was a good idea, but I had no luck with that one either. Thanks though.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratmn5105571:
Alright, shreyas said device is "Android 1.0" from windows device manager when the phone is in fastboot. Why does mine say "Android Bootloader Interface" and is this the case for everyone else?

Even more interestingly, I'll uninstall it, manually install whatever driver I chose for it, and that installation will fail. Then, I'll uninstall it again and have 'puter automatically scan for hardware, "android 1.0" pops up as one of the unknown devices but then gets reassigned as "android Bootloader Interface" after automatically installing drivers.

Oh yeah, I'm running Windows 7 64.

Thanks for your help. I ended up downloading "superboot," which has fastboot on it, and it works just fine.

I was under the impression that the dock was supposed to look different in Froyo. I used Home Switcher and Launcher Pro for a couple of days prior to flashing the stock Froyo, and I know it's possible to change them with that, but for some reason I thought the glass look dock icons was standard for 2.2 Froyo.

YOU MUST HAVE ROOT+S-OFF BEFORE THIS WILL WORK. if you are not already s-off, this will not help you.

Here is a file for you. its magic.

need to send your phone back to sprint?

want to go 100% back to stock and start the root process over again?

download the file onto the root of your sdcard.

go to bootloader mood (vol down + power)

when it asks you to press vol up to update, press volume up.

success :)

have winrar and dont want to erase your bootloader or your Recovery?

simply download the file and delete recovery+Hboot from the inside (do not unzip).

*make sure after you run this PG06IMG.zip to rename it to anything else (like aPG06IMG.zip) or it will ask you if your want to update every time you go to Bootloader and not allow you to fastboot or recovery.

THIS WILL MAKE YOU LOOSE ALL PERSONAL INFORMATION ON YOUR PHONE.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

.93 hboot-Original Hboot that came with the phone-not s-off

Common issues:

Cant get device to recognize PG06IMG.img?
Check the file system of your sdcard. Sdcard that came with phone uses a FAT filesystem, which bootloader does not recognize. use a computer to format your sdcard (or use recovery to format sdcard) to exfat or fat32 to clear this issue.
Formatting will wipe your sdcard so make sure you back it up first :)

So I bought the laptop dock. I have been obsessively checking out how much ram is available because I think it is affecting my battery life. So I happen to notice that when I am using the laptop dock that's the amount of available ram goes from about 600 megabytes to about 150 megabytes. I checked what is running in the applications menu and nothing seems to be able to account for all of the ram consumption. Furthermore the only way I can reclaim all of that missing ram is to restart the phone.

Does anybody have a similar experience or have any insight to offer?

What I meant to say was that the ram stays at around 150 even after I unplug the phone from the dock

GPStest is good for its signal strength bars and lock indication.

GPSstatus seems to do at least an Almanac GPS assist to network when first opened. It also has feature that allows compass and accelerometer calibration.

If you have not used GPS for several days, open GPSstatus first, just for network update. Close it after it does network update then open GPStest for search and lock indications.

Remember GPS antenna is near volume rockers so avoid holding phone in that area. Use GPStest to position phone to maximize signal strength bars will speed lock.
